It’s airdrop season, @monad-xyz has just announced a $225m fundraise led by @paradigm, and you realise you haven’t started farming.

Fret not, you’re still early - keep reading to get yourself up to speed quickly.

(DYOR, click links AYOR etc.) 👇🧵

A research-driven technology investment firm. https://paradigm.xyz

They achieve this “through parallel and asynchronous execution of EVM transactions alongside other optimizations to both consensus and execution.”

i.e. they are really smart so trust them:

2) WHY SHOULD YOU CARE?

“Currently, Ethereum only has the capacity for 500k daily users making (on average) 2 transactions per day. For Blockchain technology to truly push into the mainstream, we need a solution that can support 100x the users (50M people) and 10x the number of transactions per user...

...Monad is positioning itself as the best solution to fulfil this vision.”

Monad recognises the significance of Ethereum’s infrastructure and user / developer base, so by making Monad a 100% compatible Ethereum execution client they will benefit from more seamless onboarding.

3) THIS IS VERY TECHNICAL, WHY IS @threadguy INVOLVED?

Monad recognises the importance of cultural relevance.

They are fun, approachable and recognise the importance of memes. To further push into the mainstream, they’ve brought on board one of the CT’s most recognisable faces to run their NFTs vertical.

You might see the raise announcement organically on your timeline today, but you’ll definitely hear about Monad on a space very soon:

1) WHAT IS MONAD?

Monad is a 100% EVM-compatible L1, that offers users “the best of both worlds: portability and performance”. You will still be able to use familiar Ethereum infrastructure like MetaMask and Etherscan, but with 10,000 tps (1bn per day) per-transaction, costs will be significantly cheaper.
